Hello everyone !
Not sure if this has already been submitted as an idea to the Asana team, but in the midst of trying to create an agent to pull dashboard metrics, I’ve confirmed Claude can pull all the count based metrics (ie Task counts by status, overdue counts with assignee breakdown, upcoming 30d count), but is unable to pull the UI image based metrics from asana (i.e latency bar charts, burnup chart, and donut charts)
The ideal is that Claude can access all through API queries and input them into a google sheet tracking in order to have a static capture of the dynamic dashboard widgets and quickly provide snapshot reviews for our team.
The workaround is an AI assisted workflow with layer 1 being automated for count based widget pulled, and layer 2 being a manual image download of the visual data to input to Claude to read.
Would love to hear if anyone else has other creative workflows or experience with building a fully automated agentic workflow in asana outside of asana Ai teammates (as that is not a service our company wants to invest in)
Thank you!
Sarah
Hi @Sarah_Yeung , thanks for sharing what you’re trying to achieve.
From an API perspective, Asana’s goal is to provide strong Work Graph access so customers can build the data representations that best fit their needs downstream. Supporting image-based widgets via the API would blur that separation of concerns, and in practice would likely not satisfy the majority of use cases anyway.
That said, curious how others in the community are approaching this.
Thank you for your feedback @Mikhail_Melikhov ! I’m not a natively tech person so totally respect any background logic to how things are set up for Asana.
This was me brainstorming a potential way to close the loop and fully automate a portion of my work as PM to gather data for the team (: Would love to hear from others too for any other insight !
Wanted to add here that after testing out the count based metrics pull with Claude, we hit a limit with get_status_overview tool. It returned a subset of our tasks and hits a pagination cap.
Not sure if anyone else would have any feedback here! My brain is fried out for the day to noodle this further . So 1 steps forwards, 2 steps back , ha !
